This trail is a must for every mountain biker visiting Lofoten! You will experience stunning views on every corner. While enjoying the scenery you will ascend and descend the perfect mountain bike trail for intermediate riders. This is a great mountain bike tour mostly on a flowy trail with beautiful views.  From the plateau are panoramic 360-degree views of the breathtaking landscape. You will see fjords with hundreds of little islands spread along the coast, steep mountains with dramatic cliffs rising right from the ocean and majestic eagles in the sky. Natural trail and very enjoyable for intermediate skilled riders as well as experienced advanced riders. The plateau section is fast, fun and flowy with many fun features followed by a technical rocky section. The bottom of the hill is through a conifer forest with some roots and rocks to spice up the experience.
